Stars Embrace Halloween Spirit with Elaborate Costumes

Halloween celebrations have begun early for many celebrities, who have already showcased elaborate costumes ahead of the official holiday. Rochelle Humes and her husband Marvin Humes transformed into the musical duo Nelly and Kelly Rowland. The couple shared a video on Instagram performing their rendition of the song "Dilemma," with Rochelle donning a leather top and low-rise jeans, complemented by a wig, to emulate Rowland's style. Marvin also appeared in a wig to channel Nelly.

Amanda Holden embraced a more macabre theme, dressing as axe murderer Lizzie Borden. Holden, 55, wore a period dress adorned with fake blood and carried an axe. She was joined by her Heart Radio co-host Jamie Theakston, who portrayed Lizzie Borden's father, Andrew.

Singer Lily Allen offered a satirical take on a past controversy, dressing as a poorly ticketed arena. Allen, who cancelled a concert in Auckland, New Zealand, earlier in the year, with some fans speculating it was due to low ticket sales, wore a white bodysuit decorated with blue dots to represent available seating. She completed the look with dark eye makeup and a thermometer, captioning her post, "Never beating the allegations."

Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks arrived as Harley Quinn and The Joker, respectively, for a Halloween event. Attwood, 35, adopted Harley Quinn's persona with a metallic minidress and extensive tattoos, while Wicks, 37, dyed his hair green and applied white face paint to embody The Joker.

Other notable costumes included Phoebe, daughter of Vernon Kay and Tess Daly, dressed as a devil, and Lizzie Cundy, who appeared as a cat in a black lycra jumpsuit and high-heeled boots. Towie star Nicole Bass also opted for a feline-inspired costume.
